We heard President Trump speak about his 'love' for the dreamers but on Tuesday night, WUSA 9 heard from a Dreamer who says the President actually broke her family's heart.
The last time we saw Fatima Claros Saravia on camera, she was in tears. It was the day she learned her two brothers, star Bethesda Soccer Club athletes, had been deported after showing-up for what they thought would be a routine ICE check-in.
Now their sister is terrified.
She is a DACA Recipient.
"I'm scared because I can get deported any time and now that I have a baby of 6-months, I'm scared that I won't be here with my baby because he's American," said the sister.
First she was fighting for her brothers, but on Tuesday, the 25-year-old mom joined White House protesters in a march for her future as well.
This is what a Montgomery County family is dealing with under the New Administration and its stance on immigration. The latest: rescinding DACA, which affects around 800,000 undocumented people, including Fatima Claros Saravia.
"It's unfair what this president is doing," said Claros Saravia.
Her meaning of unfair:
"They have to see how hard we work and that we are good citizens in the community...My family is really heartbroken because my two brothers just wanted to have their dreams come true and they took those dreams away from them," she said.
The 25-year-old said her brothers were deported after 19-year-old Lizandro Claros Saravia reached out to ICE on his own. She claims he was trying to work everything out for his move to college in North Carolina when ICE told Lizandro, 19, and Diego, 22, to check-in.
Tuesday, all she did was look for Diego's car outside. That's when she broke down crying.
Before this, Fatima told WUSA9, "when I came to this country, I was 12-years-old."
Like many, she fled the violence in El Salvador.
She can apply for a two-year DACA renewal, but doesn't know what will happen after that. She just hopes to continue working in senior care and childcare while caring for her own family.
"We are heartbroken because we are separate, and we always been together," said Claros Saravia.
This what the 25-year-old says keeps her going: Claros Saravia told WUSA9 on Tuesday, both her brothers were actually offered soccer scholarships to an American University with a campus in Nicaragua.
This means they'll be in a safe location, out of El Salvador. She also says they may be able to return to the U.S. on student visas further down the road.
